Huawei phones are saying that the Google app is a virus
Huawei phones are currently claiming that the Google app is a virus, sending SMS messages without user knowledge.
Appears to be a useful app, with a plaetora of features, but gathers your personal data, including voice, just to sell it to the highest bidder, all under the umbrella of an ads platform (which is also a very sketchy business).
Yup, sounds like a virus to me.
Google doesn’t sell your data though. That would completely kill their business which is selling ads.
They collect all that data so they can position themselves as the best ad service since they can target ads based on that info.
If they sold the data, then anyone bought it would just use it to target people without paying Google to do so.
I'm afraid you are deluded if you think all your data is safe with Google.
Ads make money, because the valuable data can be sold.
Google collects data about you and by doing so, is able to target you with products that are suitable to you.
Other companies will pay top dollar for that kind of data. From Google trends, to purchasing habits, sentiments around world events, elections, sports events and betting...
It's all useful to other companies, not Google. Google just wants to collect it all and create a product out of you that can be marketed to people who want to sell you stuff.
All Google apps are viruses
Insert Spiderman meme
They're not wrong though, Google is a virus.
So Huawei is concerned about everyone's privacy and security now? Lol
How the turntables.
